SET YOURSELF UP FOR SUCCESS
Completion of the entire program typically takes two to three years with two being the goal. This is a self-paced course once students enroll in Speed Development. Those who practice every day, complete all the recommended assignments in RTC, attend class regularly, participate in discussion and read-backs will be on track to complete the program in two years or less.
New students are also encouraged to enroll in a free Intro to Steno program through either Project Steno or NCRA’s “A to Z™” prior to enrolling in Theory. There, you’ll learn how to write the stenotype alphabet, words, and phrases. It also offers the opportunity to make sure pursuing this career is right for you!
